Common use of NOTE ABOUT EXTRA WORK AND CHANGE ORDERS Clause in Contracts

NOTE ABOUT EXTRA WORK AND CHANGE ORDERS. Once a written and signed order is prepared by both parties before starting any new work, extra work and Change Orders become part of the contract. The order should detail the additional work or changes, the associated cost adjustments, and the impact on the payment schedule. Change Orders typically arise from unexpected physical or hazardous conditions discovered at the property. If such conditions are identified, the Contractor may choose to delay or halt installation. Client approval is required for any Change Order. If a Change Order is presented but not approved, the Client may decline the request. In such cases, the Client has the option to terminate the agreement and pay for all work and materials used/delivered up to the time of declining the Change Order. While no Cancellation fee will be applied, restocking fees may be applicable if materials have been purchased. Change Orders can also result from requests or additions made by the Client after the contract has been signed, including material substitutions or scope changes.
